One of the State Department’s first actions after the Senate confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio was to bar pride and Black Lives Matter flags at embassies and outposts.
The Biden White House also allowed the State Department to fly an assortment of pride flags alongside the official American banner, drawing outrage among Republicans in Congress. The raising of the flag marked the U.S. government’s official observance of “pride month” in June. “The widely recognized rainbow flag,” the State Department said, “will fly from the flagpole of the U.S. Embassy in Downtown Nassau, and at the Chief of Mission Residence on Sanford Road.”
“Starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestic and abroad, and featured in U.S. government content,” the memo said. “The flag of the United States of America united all Americans under the universal principles of justice, liberty, and democracy. These values, which are the bedrock of our great country, are shared by all American citizens, past and present.
